Anti-missionary Riots In China
Starting with the arrival in China of the Jesuit China missions in 1552, the number of Western missionaries increased gradually. The Treaty of Tientsin in 1858 gave the Christians free run in the country and the right to purchase land to build. The Western missionaries saw themselves the God sent preachers while Chinese saw them as the ''barbarians'' (Chinese: 夷), the extension of foreign invasion, shielded by treaties and backed by their governments' gunboats. Anti missionary riots became part of the landscape, culminating the Boxer Rebellion in 1900.Paul A. Varg, ''Missionaries, Chinese and Diplomats'' (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1958).

The Yongzheng edict of 1724 proscribed Christianity in the Qing empire and declared foreign missionaries . Catholics in Sichuan learned how to make do without ordained priests. When the Qing became ever more possessed by the idea that Catholics belonged to a "heretical" organization (as contrasted with the "orthodoxy" of Confucianism) which might threaten the empire's order and rule, district magistrates found it convenient to manipulate non-Catholic communities against the Catholics, leading to discrimination as well as social and political pressure against Catholic families.
